Thu 9/16 - PM 85 minutes incl. 10x1000

Back and forth on the Longfellow Loop, 200m jog between reps. I came to realize that it was either going to be a half-assed attempt at circuits (omitting the walking lunges of course after last week) or resumption of some form of interval training after over 3 months break from it. Went with the latter, had to get back on the horse sometime. Jogged up the road and dove right in with the first rep, too lazy to do drills beforehand. First rep went by in 3:25, subsequent reps within 3 seconds of this either way. Recoveries just under a minute by and large. I was originally shooting for slightly slower pace, and thought the first one was going to be unsustainable. This turned out to not be the case, although there were moments where I felt possibly overextended. Less tired/exhausted than expected upon finishing. Left adductor started barking about halfway through the workout and got tighter after that. Not to a debilitating degree but it's still an issue, definitely affected more by the faster pace of the reps compared to the slower type of running (in some cases much slower) I've been doing lately. On and off showers, quite heavy for a time, while I was out there. Cool and humid throughout.
